@jordanmerrick Yeah it’s really not good. There is so much good out there too, but it seems like the bad seeds are more popular and widespread in this industry than other entertainment mediums. Maybe that’s how it is everywhere, but it does doesn’t feel that way.

@jordanmerrick Completely agreed here. The iPhone gets more reliably good shots for me and requires less thought. The ceiling for quality just isn’t as Haifa as with a good standalone camera.

@gregmoore Yeah, I totally get it! The thing that’s been hardest for me is having to start thinking about more when taking a photo. The iPhone is amazing for “just snap the shutter and it’ll look good.”

@adrianizq Totally with you on that! I don’t like podcasts going behind paywalls and being exclusive to specific apps, I just can’t currrntly justify saying that they are no longer podcasts if they do that.

@chet That’s a good comparison too, and I think it’s what makes this more complicated than it appears on the surface. 🙂

Also how historic do you want to go with the name? They are “pod”casts because they were primarily played on iPods. The word is definitely fluid.

@manton I updated the page with your suggestion, re-enabled downloads, and also made it a little faster than before. It’s still way slower than it needs to be, but that’s going to require me to figure out my bottleneck in PHP.
